Lauren Roman is a postdoctoral researcher at CSIRO’s Oceans and Atmosphere. Her research focuses on marine debris (plastics and other litter in the ocean) and the impact it has on wildlife. Her research combines laboratory analysis and statistical modelling to quantify litter in the ocean, investigate drivers of marine debris, and understand its effect on wildlife. Lauren has a PhD in Quantitative Marine Science, and her doctoral thesis focused on assessing the risk of plastic ingestion to tube-nosed seabirds.
